"Uh...Lily, where exactly are we going?" James asked trying to keep up with Lily's fast stride.
"Some place private" she replied looking straight ahead.
They turned a corner went down the stares leading to the great hall turned down the corridor leading to the kitchens. Passing the painting of the bowl of fruit to a painting of fawn playing a lute.
"Mysterious fawn play me a tune" Lily said to the creature residing in the frame
The beast nodded its head and played a three note tune. The picture swung back and reveled a dark room.
"In" Lily said plainly.
James did as he was commanded and stepped into darkness
"Lumos" Lily said causing James to do the same.
"Where exactly are we?" he asked.
"The old music room, hasn't been used sense 1867" Lily replied "Don't you read?" Lily giggled.
Ignoring her question "Why have you brought me here?"
Looking him straight in th eye then looking at the floor then back to his eyes again. "I don't really know how to say this, I have never really had this feeling before...well of coursed I've had this feel but not about you and..."Lily cut here self off realizing that she was rambling. "Ok...Put it this way...sense you...well sense you stopped bothering me...not bothering more like annoying flattery...I realized something" she paused.
No sound came from James just a stare that could see through her soul.
"Why is this so bloody hard... I realized that I miss you teasing me and saying nice things to me. I've come to the conclusion that I like you." Lily finished
James was stunned to say the least. "I was not expecting you to react that way"James said
Lily looked close to tears. She mumbled a little "Oh". She started for the door.
"But" James started to walk closer to Lily " I liked it. Do you know how long I have been waiting for you to come to your senses" He said engulfing Lily in a warm hug.
Back in the class room.
"I wonder what got into Lily, she usually loves charms" Kathryn said forgetting that Maria was under the truth spell.
"She probably thought it was the right time to tell James how she really feels." Maria said
Kathryn looked at her friend not saying a word. Maria came out of her trance like state with a shock of horror on her face.
"Don't tell anyone" Maria pleaded.
"No I won't but Lily is going to get a nice talking to for not telling me and just telling you" Kathryn said with her arms crossed over her chest.
"I didn't find out till yesterday" Maria tried to explain but game up in vain.
